Our Mission is to increase women’s participation and opportunity in trail running and hiking through inspiration, education and empowerment.
I am the founder and owner of Banana Champs. I’m a doctorate level Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Licensed NY State Behavior Analyst. I’m also a UESCA certified ultra marathon running coach and endurance nutrition coach. I’ve conducted research on motivation and effort in ultra running and I’m presently writing a book on the attributes of good coaches, scheduled for print in July 2025.
I am the OG Banana Champ, an avid ultra runner, completing races from 50K to 250 miles, urban road races to mountainous trails, fixed time races, stage races, point to points, and looped courses.
I believe that coaching and compassion come hand in hand and I am dedicated to maintaining the joy in running.
The way we behave is shaped by the way we think of ourselves.
